SKADDEN ARPS money in federal elections

Two names, no ampersand, not the full partnership line

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. SKADDEN ARPS is the truncated two-word form as stored — no ampersand between the names. The $5,342,997 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not deal-volume statistics, not a New York bar roster, and not a NAICS rollup of all law-firm employers. People who typed SKADDEN, SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER & FLOM, or SKADDEN ARPS LLP sit in other rows if stored that way.

The FEC field is not a human-resources export across M&A, litigation, and regulatory groups. Alumni who still type SKADDEN ARPS remain in the 488. LobbyVault does not recode the full four-name partnership line into this two-name key. Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm.

488 donors and 9,062 lines

488 unique donors produced 9,062 SKADDEN ARPS contribution lines totaling $5,342,997. That is on the order of 19 itemized receipts per donor. The unique-person count is 488. VINSON & ELKINS is a separate ampersand key with its own page. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a partner-versus-associate split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $5,342,997 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.

Other Skadden spellings and peer firms

The full SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER & FLOM line, if stored, is a different key. Other partnership names are likewise separate. Combining them with SKADDEN ARPS would mix truncated and full legal names. This page stays at $5,342,997 for SKADDEN ARPS only.

ATTORNEY and LAWYER as occupation-style keys still hold lawyers who omitted the firm name. Occupation breakdowns are the place to inspect those titles. State filings are omitted from the $5,342,997.

Donor table

The SKADDEN ARPS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a transaction, a client, or a motive to that line. The 488 unique-person count is not a partnership headcount.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the two-name string. People who typed the full four-name line are not in these 488 unless a receipt also grouped to SKADDEN ARPS. Repeat names among 9,062 lines from 488 people are expected.

Keep SKADDEN ARPS’s $5,342,997, 9,062 contributions, and 488 donors on this two-name truncation. The full partnership line, unitemized gifts, and committee PAC documents stay on their own records. The donor table lists disclosed recipients without converting the string into a NAICS legal-services total.

Two-name truncation versus the full partnership line

SKADDEN ARPS is stored without an ampersand and without Slate, Meagher, or Flom. The $5,342,997, 9,062 lines, and 488 donors describe that truncation only. The full partnership line, if stored, is another key. Firm PAC filings are other FEC documents. Unitemized gifts stay out.

About 19 receipts per person is 9,062 divided by 488. That is a moderate repeat pattern. The packet does not split M&A, litigation, and regulatory groups and does not certify a New York bar status. Occupation pages show attorney titles stored beside the two-name form.

Follow the donor table for disclosed names and committees. VINSON & ELKINS and COVINGTON & BURLING remain separate partnership keys. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to SKADDEN ARPS. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS.

Keep SKADDEN ARPS’s 488 donors and 9,062 lines on the two-name truncation. The full partnership line remains another key if stored that way. The donor table lists disclosed recipients for the $5,342,997 only.

Questions

How much have SKADDEN ARPS-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $5,342,997 to the SKADDEN ARPS employer string, from 9,062 contributions and 488 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS legal-services total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this Skadden corporate or PAC spending?

No. The $5,342,997 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to SKADDEN ARPS. Firm treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include the full Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom name?

Only if the grouped employer text is SKADDEN ARPS. The longer partnership line is a separate key if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the two-name truncation without an ampersand. Lawyers who typed only ATTORNEY sit in occupation-style rows instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed SKADDEN ARPS?

The rollup counts 488 donors and 9,062 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a partnership headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
